Tablets can come in all shapes and sizes. Most tablets fall in the 7-10-inch range, but we’ve seen a few that push the boundaries. The Samsung Galaxy View is firmly in that discussion. This device has a whopping 18.4-inch display. You might think the size has more in common with a TV than a tablet. That’s why XDA Recognized Contributor deadman96385 brought Android TV to the device.

Developers recently brought unofficial LineageOS 15.1 to the device. Now we’re seeing LineageOS 15.1 TV, which is a port of Android TV. As you can see in the photos, this is the most recent version of Android TV with the revamped UI.

There are quite a few caveats if you’re interested in this. First of all, Android TV was not designed for touchscreens, so you will need a Bluetooth controller. Netflix and Google Play Movies do not work, but you can sideload the phone version of Netflix. Casting to the tablet from other devices does not work.
